Hisense debuted its AI Companion Suite powered by ConnectLife at IFA, demonstrating how connected intelligence can automate kitchen, laundry, and living routines through context-aware device orchestration. According to Hisense, the ecosystem uses a core framework called V AIOS to sense environments, process decisions, communicate naturally, and execute tasks autonomously across home appliances.
Inside the AI Companion Kitchen Ecosystem
The kitchen experience begins when a user asks what to make, prompting the AI Companion Refrigerator to scan stored ingredients and suggest recipes based on personal preferences. Once a user picks a meal, the refrigerator syncs directly with the AI Companion Oven to initiate automatic cooking parameters. According to Hisense, the AI Companion Wine Cabinet simultaneously recommends ideal pairings and manages storage conditions, while the post-meal cleanup is handled by the AI Companion Dishwasher, which detects dish soil levels to adjust cleaning cycles.
Automated Laundry and Living Space Controls
In the laundry sector, the AI Companion Laundry Suite examines clothing characteristics to choose and run appropriate wash and dry cycles without manual intervention. Meanwhile, living spaces benefit from the AI Companion Air Conditioner, which detects user presence and room conditions to shift airflow dynamically. According to company disclosures, the AI Companion Energy System factors in local weather forecasts and time-of-use electricity pricing to cut down overall household energy consumption.
Expanding Voice Integration With Amazon Alexa+
Building on existing ConnectLife support, Hisense is partnering with Amazon to bring smart home appliances to Amazon’s Alexa+ AI assistant. According to the company, Hisense will be among the first appliance brands to use Amazon’s new Smart Home AI Toolkit. Rolling out in the coming months, the integration allows users to control select Hisense air conditioners using natural voice prompts, with Alexa+ mapping user requests and navigating device settings automatically.
IFA Product Recognition and Regional Strategy
Several appliances within the lineup earned official product awards at the exhibition. According to Hisense, the Multi Function II Series energy-saving HVAC solution secured a Winner Award, the X-zone Master earned an Honoree designation, and the U8 Air Master Air Conditioner, W60 3D Kitchen-fit Series, and 60cm Integrated Wine Cabinet also received judges’ recognition.
Jason Ou, President at Hisense MEA and India, stated that the awards reaffirm the company’s focus on technology that improves daily life. According to Ou, these milestones highlight the trust regional partners place in the brand as it expands its product footprint across the Middle East, Africa, and India.
